Run Windows apps on Linux with “seamless integration”.

Author words:

WinBoat is an Electron app which allows you to run Windows apps on Linux using a containerized approach. Windows runs as a VM inside a Docker container, we communicate with it using the WinBoat Guest Server to retrieve data we need from Windows. For compositing applications as native OS-level windows, we use FreeRDP together with Windows’s RemoteApp protocol.

Features

• Elegant Interface: Sleek and intuitive interface that seamlessly integrates Windows into your Linux desktop environment, making it feel like a native experience
• Automated Installs: Simple installation process through our interface – pick your preferences & specs and let us handle the rest
• Run Any App: If it runs on Windows, it can run on WinBoat. Enjoy the full range of Windows applications as native OS-level windows in your Linux environment
• Full Windows Desktop: Access the complete Windows desktop experience when you need it, or run individual apps seamlessly integrated into your Linux workflow
• Filesystem Integration: Your home directory is mounted in Windows, allowing easy file sharing between the two systems without any hassle
• And many more: Smartcard passthrough, resource monitoring, and more features being added regularly

FramePack is a next-frame (next-frame-section) prediction neural network structure that generates videos progressively. FramePack compresses input contexts to a constant length so that the generation workload is invariant to video length. FramePack can process a very large number of frames with 13B models even on laptop GPUs. FramePack can be trained with a much larger batch size, similar to the batch size for image diffusion training.

To generate 1-minute video (60 seconds) at 30fps (1800 frames) using 13B model, the minimal required GPU memory is 6GB. (Yes 6 GB, not a typo. Laptop GPUs are okay.)
